Replacing engine compartment fuse

  1. Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.

  2. Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tab and pulling the cover up.

  3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. To remove or insert the fuse, use the fuse puller in the engine compartment fuse panel.

  4. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in the clips. If it fits loosely, we recommend that you consult a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

CAUTION

After checking the fuse panel in the engine compartment, securely install the fuse panel cover through the audible clicking sound.

If not, electrical failures may occur from water contact.

Main fuse (Multi fuse)

If the multi fuse is blown, it must be removed as follows:

  1. Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.

  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

  3. Remove the nuts shown in the picture above.

  4. Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.

  5. Reverse these steps to reinstall the multi fuse.

NOTICE

If the multi fuse is blown, consult a professional workshop. Kia recommends to consult an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

Battery fuse

If the battery fuse is blown, it must be removed as follows:

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

  2. Remove the nuts shown in the picture above.

  3. Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.

  4. Reinstall in the reverse order of removal.

NOTICE

If the battery fuse is blown, consult a professional workshop. Kia recommends to consult an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

CAUTION

Visually inspect the battery cap for secure closing. If the battery cap is not securely latched, the electrical system may be damaged to due influx of moisture into the system.
